Where the "BLOG" have I been?!?!

Yes, I know! I have been totally missing in action when it comes to blogging lately! I have heard it from a few of my friends and one actually said the funniest thing and I laugh everytime I think about it,"Where the "Blog" have you been?" So this is for you, my friends who have been wondering where I have been! Well lately I have been feeling like such a mess and so unorganized that I had to take a step back or 50 steps back to reorganize myself. As some of you know my life has been turned upside down for quite some time and I needed to refresh myself on life!
So I started getting a little behind on blogging, facebook, and emails when I started the personal training certification school....I passed!!! Yeah!!! Then after that I took my CPR certification class, now I am on to start the interning part of it! I have also started going to (thanks to a wonderful women who did this for all of her friends) a parenting class. What a blessing this has been for me to attend. I feel like my eyes have been wide open to pay more attention to my childrens' need. Let me clear that up that I have always payed attention to their needs before, but this time it is in a way different understanding and awareness. It has been amazing for me in the 3 weeks of going, to know how to handle situations differently, how to say things differently and get BETTER results!!! So I thank you Kara for doing this for all of us!
Another mission I have been on is that I have gone through all kinds of my stuff that I haven't used in....oh I don't know....FOREVER!! Yes, I have to admit I have "pack-rat syndrome" It is horrible and I have always hated that syndrome about me! So...NO MORE!!! It was pretty sad actually going through my clothes and I am so embarrassed to admit, but I had clothes from my teenage years that I thought,"Oh I might wear this sometime." Okay NO! While I was looking at some of them I thought to myself, I know I didn't get taller....yes, I dressed like a hoochie back in the day, BUT that was "in" so of course I had to be instyle...right?!?! =-)
Well to end this update...for you that have not seen me in a little while, I have to shout out my excitement, I finally 3 years after Collin being born have finally shedded my baby weight!! FINALLY, YEAH!!! You don't have to hear me complain about that anymore...I can hear your thoughts on that, thank goodness! At least that is my thought!
I have to get my pictures organized to post them of everything that has gone on in the last 2-3 months of me non-blogging!

Miracle

This is my middle son Caden who was an Anne Geddes Baby with Celine Dion when he was 6 days old! One of my friends has asked me a few times to put the picture bigger so you can see it better so here you go Marci! You are too cute!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Collin!!!

I cannot believe that my baby who I feel that was just born is 3! I hear and say this all the time but, Oh boy do they grow up so fast! You blink and then they are all grown up. Collin is such a joy for our family. He is so funny and smiley and he loves giving Mommy hugs and kisses all the time, which I can NOT get enough of! I am so blessed to have been given my 3 little blessings and I am so thankful for all of the joy that they bring! Collin...Happy Birthday! We Love You!

Halloween Party Time

What a fun Halloween time we had! We had so many fun things going on, we had 2 Parties, 2 Trunk or Treats, and then Trick or Treating around the neighborhood. I am sad to say this is the only time I remembered the camera, but lucky enough that they were taking pictures at one of the Trunk or Treats we went to! The boys were Star Wars charachters almost the whole Halloween fun except up until the last night....they all ended up being Army Guys on Halloween night. Actually Coby was an Army guy at one of the Trunk or Treats so they thought it was a good idea to change it up a little. They looked sooo cute I wish I would have gotten a picture of them ALL being Army guys!

Soccer Days

Octoberfest!

We have had another week filled with fun and excitement! I have been on 2 fieldtrips with my 2 older boys' schools this week. First was the Gilcrease Ranch with Caden's preschool and the second was with Coby's 1st grade class to the Farm Festival. We also made a family trip to the Pumpkin Patch! I love Halloween time, there are so many exciting things for families to do!

Happy Halloween!

Have a wonderful and safe Halloween!!!

A week full of fun! AND for all the kids who loved the chipmunk song, it is back!

(You can click on the pictures to view them bigger)

There was so many exciting things for me to post! Coby and Caden started soccer last week and how fun it is to watch them not knowing what they are supposed to do and go into what is considered Bunch Ball! We all get a kick out of it. My kids favorite part of soccer is being the goally. They do such an awsome job at it. Caden caught and kicked the ball a few times to save the point from being scored, but sadly enough to say both of my boys teams lost last week AND this week. Both of my boys last week stayed on the outter part of the game they were a little scared to get involved in the Bunch Ball, but this week both of them got into the middle and kicked the ball. Coby was doing a fantastic job this week and he was all into the game! I have to admit the funny thing is that Bill kind of gave them a little perk to go and kick the ball.....he bribed them that he would to take them and buy them somthing at the store! Bill is too funny, he said,"Well I had to find a way for them to realize that they don't have to be afraid of the ball!" That was hilarious to me!

The other fun thing we did was go to the Open House to our new Firestation in Mountain's Edge. Caden and Collin had a great time seeing the firemen, firedogs, and also the biggest firemen in the world which was an air inflated costume. I thought my kids would be scared of him but they actually thought it was funny, we missed Coby going with us he was at school.

The next exciting news is that my kids were so excited to see that Friday morning we had 2 chipmunks in our backyard again. This time I hurried, got my camera, and only one of the chipmunks ran away. BUT now I have proof on camera of the one little guy! I got a picture of why he likes our backyard and it is because my kids leave crumbs of food outside that they are totally loving!! So my kids are so excited and now want to leave food out for them all of the time, so he is an everyday visitor now! They are so cute(my kids and the chipmunks)!!!!

Happy Halloween!

My kids had a great time painting pumpkins. Every year we get the little pumpkins for the kids to paint and they love it! Halloween time is so much fun! It could be because my birthday is in this month, but even if it wasn't I would still love October!

What Flower are you?

I am a Snapdragon What Flower Are You?

I thought this was so cute and this is what it said about me........"Mischief is your middle name, but your first is friend. You are quite the prankster that loves to make other people laugh."

Me?!?!? No, not me! heehee!

This is too cute and right on! What flower are you?

Fun Day at Redrock!

This was so much fun! We went hiking at Redrock and the kids were kind of scared that snakes were going to get them. We had to reasure them all the way that they weren't going to get them or at least we hope not! I guess we need to go hiking more often because of all the worrying that they had. But beside of the snake worries it was a wonderful day and we had a lot of fun!
